Mount Pleasant is one of the oldest schools in Providence. In 1947 the new housing department made it obligatory for Mount Pleasant High School on Duncan Road to become a four year school. It has been around since the 1830, and the condition of the school back in the 1830s looked like a cottage. In this same year there was a law passed in Delaware to recognize the first public school system. Out of the many schools Mount Pleasant was the first to be built, which was a small stone school. The innovative Mount Pleasant remains in possession of Bellevue State Park. Mount Pleasant is a public school that needs a lot of work in appearance and education wise. NICE INTRODUCTION. YOU CAN ADD A STATEMENT ABOUT PURPOSE AND AUDIENCE OF REPORT.
Community Background
In the city of Providence the population is just about 173,618. Then was originating in 1636 and integrate in June 1832. There are about 1,579 students at Mount Pleasant High School. At this school there are 110 teachers, this would make the student to teacher ratio 14:1 so 14 would be students and 1 is teachers. The average is usually 15, meaning that there is less students in the classrooms than most schools. In 9th grade there are 508 students, in the 10th there are 361 students, in 11th there 411 students, and in the 12th grade there are 299 students. Mount Pleasant has 770 male’s students and 809 female students. The female dominate the school. This school consists of 227 white students, 116 Asian/pacific islanders, 834 Hispanic, and 390 African American students. As far as Native Americans there are only 12 students in Mount Pleasant. The student’s economic level is above average. 967 students out of the 1,579 receive reduce or free lunch, basically 61.24% of the students. This school is not a title 1 which means that it did not receive federal assistance. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SCHOOL SECTION. IN THE COMMUNITY SECTION, YOU COULD TALK ABOUT THE SCHOOL'S LOCATION AND THE ECOMOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE AREA. YOU SHOULD INCLUDE CITATIONS FOR EACH SENTENCE CONTAINING NEW FACTS.
District
1981 the Brandywine school district would contain four high schools: Brandywine, Claymont, Concord and Mount Pleasant. The Mount Pleasant community has become very diverse because of the closure of the Wilmington School District. The students were spread out among the four new school district. Then in 1990, Claymont closed. The Brandywine School District recognized the closing to a declining enrollment, and an unequal racial balance and the monetary of keeping a high school open with a declining enrollment. As a consequence, the students were relocating within the three existing high schools. WHAT ARE THE ETHNIC AND ECOMOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE DISTRICT'S STUDENTS?
School Analysis
Mount Pleasant high school is not a high-quality school. The school standards are low and not only is the standard’s low, but the student’s performance is also extremely low. The Providence school system needs to better itself. Providence school system is very weak and when students move on to college it gets tough. YOU SHOULD PRESENT EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIMS.
Conclusion
All in all Mount Pleasant High School was not a high standard school. I feel that if the principles and teachers dedicate time to Mount Pleasant then the school could better. It obviously needs a lot of work as far as the condition of the school and the teaching style. It got me this far and I appreciate the school for that pathway it gave me.
